## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements; - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## _Stewart Hunt_ ..............................................................
